Alright, progress. I'm still researching the next problems that I ran into but I thought I'd post an update. First, I ran into GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES while the build was in configure-stage2-zlib and in anticipating what Lance might say to that, I checked and there doesn't seem to be a --without-zlib although I did test that just in case and it did nothing. The best explanation for what GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES is that I found so far is in a post to the list about a similar problem: https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc/2008-03/msg00515.html I went ahead and built it anyway with --disable-bootstrap. glibc compiled but not too surprisingly running ldd or /usr/lib/libc.so.6 with LD_LIBRARY_PATH to $DISTRO/usr/lib just segfaults, so it seems like it wasn't really a sane build of gcc after all. Ignoring that problem, configuring libstdc++-v3 after having glibc fails which is kind of obvious since the host glibc differs in version from the target version. You know, the typical "version `GLIBC_2.34' not found" errors. This seems like a proper motivating reason for using the fake cross-compiling trick but I'm determined to figure out if there's a way around that. ../configure \ --prefix=$DISTRO/root/bootstrap \ --with-glibc-version=2.11 \ --with-sysroot=$DISTRO \ --with-native-system-header-dir=$DISTRO/usr/include \ --without-zstd \ --with-newlib \ --without-headers \ --enable-initfini-array \ --disable-nls \ --disable-shared \ --disable-multilib \ --disable-decimal-float \ --disable-threads \ --disable-libatomic \ --disable-libgomp \ --disable-libquadmath \ --disable-libssp \ --disable-libvtv \ --disable-libstdcxx \ --enable-languages=c,c++ .... checking whether the /home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/src/gcc-11.2.0/build/./prev-gcc/xgcc -B/home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/src/gcc-11.2.0/build/./prev-gcc/ -B/home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/distro/root/bootstrap/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/distro/root/bootstrap/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/distro/root/bootstrap/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/distro/root/bootstrap/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/distro/root/bootstrap/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include -fno-checking linker (ld -m elf_x86_64) supports shared libraries... yes checking dynamic linker characteristics... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[2]: *** [Makefile:16252: configure-stage2-zlib] Error 1 yes checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes checking for inline... inline checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for CET support... configure: error: Link tests are not allowed after GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES. make[2]: *** [Makefile:14566: configure-stage2-libiberty] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/src/gcc-11.2.0/build' make[1]: *** [Makefile:23471: stage2-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/guerrilla/Projects/Boots/src/gcc-11.2.0/build' make: *** [Makefile:954: all] Error 2 On 9/10/21 8:42 PM, Lance Fredrickson via Gcc-help wrote: > Hmmm, well you can also try --without-zstd.
